Super ideas to help you balance anxious and depressing thoughts. There is a huge link between digestion/obesity and anxiety/depression. I assist my clients with all three of these issues in my practice…please let me know if I can help!

• Worldwide, depression is the leading cause of ill health and disability, and anxiety is the most common mental illness in the U.S.
• In the U.S., more than 16 million people struggle with depression, and 1 in 4 women in their 40s and 50s are on antidepressant drugs. Up to 14 percent of pregnant women are also on antidepressants, despite the risk of birth defects
• There are compelling links between a high-sugar, processed food diet and poor mental health outcomes, and studies investigating the connection between obesity and mental health add further support to the diet-depression link
• Studies have shown women with abdominal obesity are at increased risk of anxiety and depression
